As a child, Dr. Fischer was raised in a third generation polygamy home. He left the FLDS religion eleven years ago. Due to his former experience with polygamy and stemming from his concerns over the countless headlines detailing violent acts of hate, marked specifically by the shooting of young children at a Jewish community center in California and a cross burning incident in Utah, Dr. Fischer created The Diversity Foundation. The Foundation is a non-profit foundation committed to preventing hate crimes through promoting diversity and fostering multicultural awareness among individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life.

For the last several years, Warren Jeffs has been the prophet in the FLDS community. He has led with extreme measures: banishing boys from the community, directing the early teenage marriages of girls to older men and authorizing the destruction of families. For instance, any father he feels to be unrighteous or unworthy is told to leave the community and that man’s wives and children are assigned to other men. The children are even instructed to change their last names and occasionally their first names.

The Lost Boys are a group of young men who have been kicked out, or discouraged out, of their community. They are banished from family and friends and are told to never associate with them again. Many of these boys have been expelled from everything they knew as young as 13 years of age.

The Diversity Foundation provides help for these boys. The goal is to help these young men find their way in today’s world and become happy, productive members of society. The Diversity Foundation helps the Lost Boys find employment, addresses and assists with payment for medical and dental expenses and at times provides assistance with living expenses.
